Are perceived increases in symptom severity in college counseling center clients real or imagined? Counseling center staff, retrospectively, reported that client problems are more severe now than in the past. Yet studies examining client distress levels at intake have found no significant increases. This study examined counseling center client problems across 13 years from the perspective of the treating therapist at the time of case closure. Increases were found for 14 of 19 client problem areas, whereas other areas retained stable levels, and 2 problem areas had a quadratic trend over time. These changes directly affect counseling service practices.
Crystals of pentacene are triclinic, with two molecules in a unit cell of dimensions a = 7.93, b = 6" 14, c= 16.03 A, a= 101.9 °, fl= 112.6 °, y =85.8 °, space group Pi. The structure, which has been determined from projections along the a and b crystal axes, is very similar to the structures of naphthalene, anthracene and tetracene. The two molecules in the unit cell are situated on independent centres of symmetry, the asymmetric unit consisting of two half-molecules. Both molecules are completely planar. Details of the molecular dimensions and of the intermolecular separations have been obtained.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
